Alliance History and Thought Courses
"The course is to inform an Alliance sense of identity, to ground teaching and worship, and to find its way into lived commitments. Alliance identity is shaped by a tradition, expressed by Albert B. Simpson as the Fourfold Gospel which has continually witnessed the fact that Christ's work has present as well as future implications. It calls adherents to and empowers them for holiness, it affirms God’s interest in the physical as well as the spiritual, and it points forward to hope in the coming of Christ’s Kingdom." - Prof. Ken Draper
